Joe12 Posted August 24, 2015 #101 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Allure ? Anyone ? Allure OTS - Jerome Sueur *May 19 for all of the European cruises thru Oct 25 then who? If you are on AL in the next two months you'll have him. Sailed with him 2 months ago and is quite good, Not the best but certainly not the worst. With AL being such a big ship the CD doesn't matter at all. The CD when Allure goes back to FLL is unknown.

TheTruthCanHurt Posted August 24, 2015 #104 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am asking this as a question. Not as a slam. I am just trying to understand? Why do people put so much value into a cruise director? I personally think they add absolutely NO value to a cruise. Other than screaming the word bingo, and giving a shopping speech directing you to the places that have paid to advertise, Personally I think they are completely unnecessary. so my question is. What value do they actually add to you personally? I have zero involvement with them and really don't care to... I find them annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 25, 2015 #109 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Does anyone know how often Cruise Directors switch ships? When they leave for a break, do they come back to the same ship afterwards? They usually are on a ship for 4 to 6 months and take 2 months off. They usually stay on the same ship for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What value do they actually add to you personally? I have zero involvement with them and really don't care to... I find them annoying. We don't participate in tons of activities but I can tell the effect of a good and bad CD. On Oasis and Allure it doesn't matter at all who the CD is as it has so much going on it is very easy to avoid them. I'll give you an example of good and bad: On Serenade we found Casey Pelter to be rubbish. He only scheduled one show per evening at an inconvenient time for half of the cruise, was invisible and left lots to his AM Carlos (Now CD on Majesty) and also had a really boring morning show (and I mean boring). But Joff Eaton and Leigh Xuereb were both very visible even though they had a much larger ship than Casey, They scheduled enjoyable shows at good times and were funny without being OTT and annoying (John Blair). They also did good and informative morning shows which still had some humour. Jimmy Rhodes' "How u cruisin?" morning show was also good.

Joe12 Posted August 25, 2015 #112 Share Posted August 25, 2015 That's great to know. We're hoping to have Amy again on Radiance next summer. Amy has done 2 years on RD and with Steve now coming over there it is possible Amy could be reassigned. BTW: Steve was a great AM so I imagine he would be a good CD if he is permanent CD on Radiance.

BTW: Steve was a great AM so I imagine he would be a good CD if he is permanent CD on Radiance.Just speculating here, but Steve has a 2 month contract on RD, so he's doing a fill-in, and Amy is likely still the regular CD there (doing 4 months on, followed by 2 months off). Time will tell, but it's a pretty good guess that Amy will be back on Radiance Dec through beginning of April, on break April and May, and back again June through Sept, following the same pattern until her 3 years on that ship is up.

CruisingQueen at Allure Posted August 28, 2015 #120 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Jerome is going on vacation when this cruise ends, he is not going to return to Allure, but does not yet know which ship he will work on next, but he will keep working at RCCL. Maybe on Oasis and Allure you do not need a CD, but I for one enjoyed him and his partner in crime Cuddy Cudworth very much when cruising on Allure in November 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Cruisers Posted August 28, 2015 #121 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) It'll be great to have Graham Seymour on Explorer! We had him on Rhapsody earlier this year for a 40-day B2B2B.
